net: add netdev_sw_irq_coalesce_default_on()
Add a helper for drivers wanting to set SW IRQ coalescing by default. The related sysfs attributes can be used to override the default values. Follow Jakub's suggestion and put this functionality into net core so that drivers wanting to use software interrupt coalescing per default don't have to open-code it. Note that this function needs to be called before the netdevice is registered.
